Well thats wery dificult, because polygons are not only thing to slow down game. It depend also hove complex game is and hove many and hove dificult mathematical operations and other things are. So the best is to make model for specific game, but thats not solving your problem probably so I advice you to look at models used in common games right now...
May be you can look at models in dark mater for some general idea.

let me guess... about 20 000 polygons?

I once made a little program in which I used 40 000 poly's (but untextured, on a p3 550 with a 16mb graphics accelerator)

If you re-use textures in your game you will also get better performance due to it using less texture memory in your video card and try making the textures small as possible 64x64 or 128x128.

try to limit your models to 1000-3000 polys, depending on your comp and requirements
